Ive just downloaded the Stronglifts app for a look.
Thats a big deload if I was to start now and training twice a week it looks to be the end of March before getting back to 100kg deadlift for 1x5... my current program has moderate stress at 122kg for 1x5 ( increasing by 2kg every 1.5 weeks), high stress of 103.5 for 3x5.
Im sure SL 5x5 fits many people who don't want to look into programming, and just want to open the app and do as required. But for me, it looks like it would be 3 months of wasted diesel, money and time.
My bench is still Novice Linear Progression for now, but the other lifts have swapped to intermediate programmes.
